Privacy commissioner to release results of Grok deepfake investigation

OTTAWA – Federal Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne releases findings today from his investigation into sexual deepfakes created by Elon Musk's Grok AI chatbot.
Dufresne launched the inquiry in Jan to examine the proliferation of sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and shared on a social media platform.
The investigation assessed whether companies complied with privacy law and obtained "valid consent" to collect, use, and disclose personal information for creating sexually explicit content.
Global backlash followed the wave of images, prompting separate investigations by authorities in the European Union and California into the technology and its privacy implications.
Canada's Liberal government has introduced legislation to criminalize non-consensual sexual deepfakes, addressing growing concerns that such misuse poses serious risks to individual privacy rights.
